The handbook section on virtualization (FreeBSD host) is at best awful and
misleading your best guide is the bhyve man page (especially the examples
there) here is the modules I load for the same set up I recommended you try
as a advanced beginners lesson in virtualization and networking.   And an
example script for using them:

/boot/loader.conf:

kern.geom.label.disk_ident.enable="0"
kern.geom.label.gptid.enable="0"
opensolaris_load="YES"
zfs_load="YES"
ipfw_load="YES"

ipdivert_load="YES"
linux_load="YES"

In the real /boot/loader.conf the following are commented out because
PetiteCloud takes care of them when it loads but unless you want to get
into more advanced stuff (like how to install non-standard ports) you
should uncomment them.

vmm_load="YES"
if_tap_load="YES"
nmdm_load="YES"

The script to load the file server VM:

#!/bin/sh
#
# Generated by PetiteCloud 0.2.6
#

ifconfig tap12 destroy
ifconfig tap12 create
ifconfig tap12 up
sleep 5
ifconfig bridge0 addm tap12 up
bhyvectl --destroy --vm=b829e56e9b4289a1
